Jump in the time machine and get ready to rock ‘n’ roll because the Kurri Kurri Nostalgia Festival, brought to you by Creightons Funeral Service, is back for 2023.
With over 30,000 visitors each year, the festival is one of the largest of its kind in Australia and is a must-visit event for anyone who loves all things vintage.
We’re talking cars and fashion, rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly dancing, retro market stalls and food vans, plus a stack of nightly events at local venues to keep the festival vibes going.
Shannon’s Show & Shine competition
Registration is now open for the Kurri Kurri Nostalgia Festival’s showcase of some of the finest pre-1978 vehicles in the region.
We recommended pre-registering because it will only cost you $10 per vehicle per day to enter.
Anyone entering their car on-the-day entry will have to $20 per vehicle per day.
With Shannon’s Insurance on board as the major sponsor of the Show & Shine alongside prize sponsor Autobarn Maitland, Well Educated Sailor and sticker printing sponsor A.I.R Recruitment, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience for car enthusiasts and festival-goers alike.
Retro Market Stalls
Held over the two main festive days, this nostalgic market is a must-visit for anyone who loves vintage fashion, classic cars, rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia and all things retro.
From 8.30 am to 4 pm on both Saturday and Sunday, Col Brown Rotary Park Kurri Kurri will be transformed into a sea of nostalgia.
Festival-goers will be able to browse and purchase themed merchandise, vintage clothing, and collectables.
And if you work up an appetite there are plenty of nostalgia-themed food and beverage stalls on hand.
Live Music
Kick off the festival with the Family Fun Night on Friday, 5 pm to 8 pm at Col Brown Rotary Park and on both Saturday and Sunday, you can catch the main stage acts at Rotary Park from 8.30 am to 4 pm.
If you’re walking around the festival site make sure you don’t miss the street stage, located at the top of Lang Street, from 10 am to 2 pm on Sunday, and the sidewalk stage in front of the Kurri Kurri Library from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm.
